By the author of "Ultralight Backpacking Secrets," this short guide covers all the most common items used when backpacking, with several suggestions on how to reduce the weight of each. There are sixty entries in total, ranging from the heavier gear - backpacks, tents and sleeping bags - right down to small things like socks, soap, pencils and maps.

Item 60 is a short section on ways to cut the weight of everything covered up to that point and everything else a backpacker might carry. It outlines six principles for finding new ways to reduce the weight in your backpack.

This is not a guide to brand names and has no reviews of new lightweight backpacking gear. Instead it shows you how to find or make the lightest equipment available at the moment, and how to reduce the weight of the gear you already have. It even has suggestions on how to cut the weight of the food and water you carry without endangering yourself or making a trip uncomfortable. If you want to carry less weight, and you want specific examples of lighter options for anything that will be with you on the trail, this is a guide for you.

Fear is a mysterious force. It sabotages our ability to think clearly and can drive us to blind panic, yet it can also give us superhuman speed, strength, and powers of perception. Having baffled mankind for ages, fear is now yielding its secrets to scientific inquiry. The simple model of “fight or flight”--that people respond to danger either by fleeing in terror or staying to fight through it--has been replaced by a more complex understanding of the fear response.

Veteran science journalist Jeff Wise delves into the latest research to produce an astonishing portrait of the brain’s hidden fear pathways. Wise, who writes the “I'll Try Anything” column for Popular Mechanics, favors a hands-on approach, volunteering to jump out of an airplane while wearing sensors and to endure a four-hour simulated missile attack on a Navy destroyer. He returns with a tale that combines lucid explanations of brain dynamics with gripping, true-life stories of mortal danger: we watch a woman defend herself against a mountain lion attack in a remote canyon; we witness a couple desperately fighting to beat back an encircling wildfire; we see a pilot struggle to maintain control of his plane as its wing begins to detach. By understanding how and why these people responded the way they did, Wise argues, we can better arm ourselves against our own everyday fears.

Full of amazing characters and cutting-edge science, Extreme Fear is an original and absorbing narrative that will force you to reconsider the limits of human potential.
